Peter,

First the delay in getting any response is because this isn't a Java2D
question so I don't
think there's a whole lot of expertise on this list in this area.

I am informed that a better place to have asked this question would have
been :

http://developers.sun.com/contact/feedback.jsp?category=j2se&mailsubject=Internationalization%20(I18N)

which I agree is obscure.

Anyway I asked the experts and the response I received was:

>And for the break iterator question, assuming that s/he refers to "a
non-letter supplementary character"
>by "a non-letter surrogate", I think the code happens to work even
though the loop is doing "p++",
>since a stand alone surrogate code point is always non-letter.  So it
just skips the low surrogate in the loop.

For further clarification I suggest the above mentioned web form.

 Find the next word:

 public static int nextWordStartAfter(int pos, String text) {
     BreakIterator wb = BreakIterator.getWordInstance();
     wb.setText(text);
     int last = wb.following(pos);
     int current = wb.next();
     while (current != BreakIterator.DONE) {
         for (int p = last; p < current; p++) {
             if (Character.isLetter(text.codePointAt(p))
                 return last;
         }
         last = current;
         current = wb.next();
     }
     return BreakIterator.DONE;
 }

In the inner for loop, what happens if a non-letter surrogate is found?
